Where Are They Now: The 2L Edition

Last year, everyone told me to just “make it through 1L year and everything will be easier.” I will admit that I do not have to spend as much time on my classes as I did last year, however, I do find 2L year very challenging. I have found balancing work, school, and my extracurricular activities to be a little stressful at times, but I have faith that it will all pay off in the end. The best part of this year is that I already have a strong relationship with classmates who I can turn to for de-stressing and for study groups. Additionally, I have found that I have carved out more time this year for life outside of law school. I make more time for myself this year with going to concerts, relaxing, and constantly reminding myself that it is okay to not be hovered over my books 24/7. All in all, this year is not quite what I expected but it is flying by. It has been a reminder that law school will be over before I know it so I need to cherish all the moments I have with friends and to seize as many networking opportunities as I can.
